Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yes, I have/had veterans in my family that I'm remembering. I'm proud to say I can trace my family's military service all the way back to the American Revolutionary War. And my family's military service continues to this day. I'm proud to be American and proud of all those (not just my relatives) who have served and are still serving our country to make it and keep it free! God bless America!

Also DH did time in the Navy, and another uncle who did time in the Air Force. Guess you say that I'm from a military family.
